The article is thought provoking. I'd say genius is a habit. The habit of thinking about things most people don't think about and thinking about them in ways most people won't think about them. But I believe anyone can acquire the habit with practice. The reason few people do, is that it is risky. Unless the individual is extremely socially adept, this habit is social liability. Why, by definition the habit makes you odd and most of us want to 'fit in.' So we tend to think about things the same way as our peers.
